Clearly, with this level of so-called bipartisan support, this must be the closest Trump has ever been to perfection in his entire life. Right? Well, to coin an old phrase, something about this situation “doesn’t pass the smell test.”

Personally, I find it very troubling that there are so many who are unwilling to apply any critical thinking on the matter, choosing instead to embrace it completely before all the facts are in.

Donald Trump has done the right thing on Syria. Finally!! After years of useless handwringing in the face of hideous atrocities.

Concerning the chemical weapons, we still don’t know that President Assad is the one who used them. It has been well-known that Al Qaeda and ISIS have access to chemical weapons. Is it possible that they were the ones behind last week’s chemical attacks in order to trigger an international reaction against Assad who has been actively fighting ISIS? And is it also possible that Trump’s knee-jerk reaction indirectly helped our radical Islamic enemy?

When it comes to foreign affairs, Trump has been all over the map, which is why I find myself agreeing with Jonah Goldberg at National Review when he said that, “The strike on Syria is the single best proof that Trump has no overriding commitment to any ideological position.”

After eight years of Obama’s ineptitude, it’s easy to see how people would crave a man of action. But action simply for action’s sake is no better than inaction. In fact, wars have been started that way.

Parting question. Was Trump’s liberal little girl Ivanka, a key advisor to the president, the reason he decided to bomb Syria?
